dbc Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 This is the worst depiction of the 1996 totals i have ever seen for the area of SE Monmouth I grew up in and was living in at the time. Ray Martin's is way more accurate particularly the left picture of just New Jersey, see below: Ray Martin's: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isotherm Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Strongly agree, the top map isn't worth a crap. Our county was one of the winners of the state with generally 30" totals widespread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your area of Monmouth County is a snowier area than most people realize. In most storms that impact the whole of the region your area often does quite well.

Agreed, we are in a bit of a sweet spot here inland 10-11 miles or so from the shore but still far enough northeast to catch the later blooming Miller B's that often get much of Long Island. Average of 34.1" for the 2000s and our 30 year is 29.1". Most of the major storms of the 2000s-present since I've been tracking were quite generous in my area. The following were all 15" or greater: Dec 2000, Dec 2003, Jan 2005, Feb 2006, Dec 2009, Feb 2010 (2 events 15"+), Dec 2010, and Jan 2011. A couple more were near misses for 15" (Nov 2012, 12", Mar 2009, 13.5"). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle W Posted November 17, 2013 Author Share Posted November 17, 2013 the storm on February 26th 1991 was an all day event...It started early in the morning and ended almost 24 hours later...Central Park got 8.9" while parts of Queens got 10"...I measured 7.8" in spots around my house...After a 2" accumulation in the early morning it snowed all day light to moderately without accumulating much...After dark it started to stick everywhere...most of the snow fell that evening...temperatures were just above freezing during the day...accumulations get lighter as you go east of Queens... Brooklyn 8" Queens Village 10" Central Park 9" Newark 4" Laguardia 7" JFK 7" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jconsor Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 In the dec 19-20, 1995 storm i measured about 15.5" in Roslyn, my(1 mile from Hempstead harbor). There are two factors to keep in mind: 1. It was a long duration event extending over nearly 36 hours. If that Whitestone report represents 12" snow on the ground, then the snowfall would likely have been around 14". 2. There was noticeable LI Sound enhancement visible on radar extending into the North shore of queens and nassau. [quote name='NorthShoreWx' timestamp='1384444539' post='2474319' Thanks Mulen. I always assumed that someone goofed at LGA in the 12/95 storm. This is the first corroboration that I have seen. It's good to know even LGA can jackpot if every thing comes together there.

I recall there already being 7 inches on the ground at LGA via TWC while I had just a thin coating of sleet on the ground in Port Jeff as dawn broke on the 20th. W/o internet at the time, I quickly assumed that was all she wrote, but light snow finally developed out here and became steadier & heavier as morning turned into afternoon. By the time it ended, 11 inches had piled up and the storm that some outlets predicted could put down up to 18 inches out here had been effectively salvaged. The storm followed a pattern that seems to have become more or less entrenched out here the last 20 years or so...start badly but end well.

Blizzardo Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Blizzard of 96' 11 miles due west of Manhattan in Bloomfield was 36" of snow. Boxing day was 26-27" I think.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
